SYSTEMATIC NAME
IUBMB Comments
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate-diphosphate-lyase (cyclizing, alpha-muurolene-forming)
The enzyme has been characterized from the fungus Coprinus cinereus. Also gives germacrene A and gamma-muurolene, see EC 4.2.3.23, germacrene-A synthase and EC 4.2.3.126, gamma-muurolene synthase.
